My friend Fredy Scriba had the fast pass at Atco....
Finally...........ProMod Racing This Weekend
- Thread starter 1978 NYB
- Start date
5.99 is no joke.
You certainly couldn't grab a $100 bill off the dash during that pass. Getting to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds is a rush. 5.99 quarter mile is a whole different ball game.
You're right about being no joke....3-4 G's during acceleration and 3 G's when the chutes open. They are way north of 200 mph at the 1/8 mile mark.
These guys are regular folks just like us....except their cars are faster.

Whew. That would be a 100 acre lakefront property with a 4 bedroom and two pole barns down here...
Yep, most of these guys are successful business owners with a passion for going really fast. LOL!
The guy (Gary Courtier) whose car exploded and burned to the ground last race at Atco is a custom house builder/home improvement guy in New York.
By the way....that last incident (nitrous explosion at 236 mph) rattled him so bad that he may not race again.

Outstanding save by Craig Pio this weekend when his twin turbo ProMod 53 Vette when he hit some oil on the big end. Watch it in full screen....

Wow that 53 vette is strong he was like .25 of a second slower than your buddy and still went 5mph faster, those turbo cars always turn in big, big end numbers. If that is on the same weekend next year I'm taking monday off and going.
Here's the website with the schedule for the rest of this year....

It's amazing at the big end watching those twin turbo's building big HP & speed.

They are all this talk of 60' times turbo cars are like anti 60' and then drive around on the big end. There is a duster at the nats with a turbo sb that leaves like a 80s mini van then turns like 10sec times.
Those turbo ProMod's are no different.......LOL!
They fly by the nitrous and blower cars at the big end like they are standing still.
I would rather go to a ProMod race any day over going to see Funny Cars and Top Fuel Dragsters at a NHRA national event.

Also they have several other pro classes racing with the ProMods.
They change it up from race to race but usually 3 or 4 other classes consisting of:
Top Sportsman
Outlaw 10.5
Radial X275
422 All Stars (Nostalgia Super Stocks)
